To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I SIDNEY S. EMERY, a citizen of the United states,residm at the city and county of Denver and Colorado, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Lubrication Records; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to-make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanyin drawings, and to the characters of re erence marked thereon,wh1ch form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to means for enabling a driver of an automobileto conveniently keep a record of the lubrication and cleani thereof.

It is a we I recognized fact that the average automobile sufiersseverely through 1mproper lubrication, and that the 'deterlorationresulting therefrom amounts to stag-- gerin sums.

It is the object of this invention to provide a chart on which everyseparate place to be lubricated is enumerated, and the permissiblenumber of miles between'each lubrication given. The chart isalsoprovided with two columns, one in which is entered the speedometerreading, and the other the date on the day of lubrication. By this meansan inspection of this recordwill clearly show what parts are in need oflubrication or cleaning.

In order to more clearly describe my invention, I shall have referenceto the accompanying drawing, in which I have shown one specificembodiment thereof.

The chart illustrated on the drawing has five vertical columns which Ihave designed as A, B, C, D and E. Column A is intended to be used forthe designation of the several groups, as for example, springs, steeringgear, wheels, engine, differential, etc. Column B is divided byhorizontal lines into as many spaces as may be necessary to prop erlytake care of the several parts of each group; thus, after the group Spr'I provide two parallel spaces, one la eled Front and the other Bear, andin column C, following the part enumerated, is a figure giving thenumber of miles that the car can properly be run between eachlubrication. Columns D and E are labeled Last lubrication, and the topof column D is marked Miles and is intended to receive tate of an entryof the speedometer reading when the" part is lubricated, whereas columnE is 'marked .Date and is intended to have entered therein the date ofthe last lubrication. The same scheme is followed through out for everygroup and 'part, although it is obviously not necessary to enumerateevery oil hole and grease cupseparately, as some things must 0necessity, and properly person whose duty it'is to lubricate themachine. It will be noted that after some of the groups, for exampleTransmission I have three sub-heads, namely: (a) Filled; (b) Inspected;(c) Washed; with the proper number of miles between each indicated incolumn C.

My chart may be made of any suitable material, such as paper, celluloidor of slate. The various column lines and items such as those found in:columns A, B and C must be permanently gpinted thereon, whereas columnsD and are left blank and are intended to be filled in with-a pencil ateach lubrication or inspection, and must of course have a surface thatwill omit the entries to be erased with ease. ere the chart is made on aslate, the-permanent lines and entries ma be engraved thereon with asharp tool, an the entries made in columns D and E by means of anordinary slate pencil.

It is my intention that the record charts shall be specially prepared tocorrespond with the requirements of the particular car with which it isto be used. Thus, a Packard will have some items that are not found on aFord, and the same is true with respect to every make of car. The recordchart may 95 be hung in a convenient place in the garage where it can beseen and inspected by the driver of the car whenever he desires to doso. 'By comparing the speedometer reading with that given in column D,and referring 1 to column C, he can readily determine what parts, ifany, need attention at that time. If he finds one item that needs to beattended to. he confers upon it the needed attention and enters thespeedometer reading in col- 105 rounding the chart proper can be made of110 any desired size and utilized for such a purpose.

so, be left to the'gen'eral intelligence of the Having now described myinvention, what I claim is e 1. A lubrication record comprising a charthaving a plurality of vertical columns and transversely ruled spaces,one of said columns containing "a list of the parts to be lubricated,another column containing fig ures representing the number of miles thatmay properly elapse after each lubrication, and two parallel columnsadapted to receive an entry of the date and the speedometer reading atthe last lubrication.

2. A lubrication record comprising a chart having a pluralit of verticalcolumns and transversely rule spaces, one of said columns containing alist of groups, another a list of parts to be lubricated, a third columncontaining figures representing the number of miles that may properlyelapse chart having a plurality of vertical columns and transverselyruled spaces, one of said lubricated, figures representing the numberof'miles that may properly elapse after each lubrication, located inoperative relatiion' thereto, and a column adapted to receive an entryof the speedometer reading at the last lubrication.-

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
